The NYPD has been on the alert for weeks for possible attacks similar to Friday’s deliberate RV explosion in Nashville, The Post has learned. An internal NYPD memo issued earlier this month warned that law enforcement were the "priority targets" for terror attacks involving homemade bombs and vehicle arson. Those targets included retired officers, business leaders, intelligence personnel and "soldiers and police of every brand." Nashville cops responding to reports of "shots fired" in the city’s downtown area were drawn instead to the RV — which played a recording that said a bomb would go off within 15 minutes. The NYPD memo said that a review of terrorism acts in the US this year highlighted the use of homemade bombs and incendiary devices, as well as vehicles, to strike law enforcement.
